milwaukee trades yi jianlian to the nets

For those who don't follow basketball and aren't aware of this news... The Milwaukee Bucks recently traded former first round pick Yi Jianlian of China to the New Jersey Nets: Bucks trade China's Yi to Nets.

This might be a pretty good move for both Yi and the Nets. Since joining the NBA, Yi has always expressed interest in playing in a major North American market, but let's face it, Milwaukee isn't really known for its massive Asian American population. New York, however, easily has one of the largest Chinese populations in the United States, and Yi would certainly boost the Nets' fan base. So long, Milwaukee: Bucks hardly knew Yi.
